Assemble to Stock : create inventory movement "there is nothing to create"

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi , 

Important remarks :

  • All assembly items for the customer have assembly policy = Assemble-to-Stock.
  • I found how to generate new assembly orders via the planning worksheet (this is not a problem). 
  • I am able to post assembly orders without error.
  • (I read through the related MS Docs documentation, most is related to Assemble-to-ORDER.  What I need is information about Assemble-to-STOCK : 

Question :  Items with policy : "Assemble-to-stock" :

If my location setup works with only : 

  • Require receive = yes  (= warehouse receipt)
  • Require pick = yes (= inventory picks)
  • bin mandatory = yes

Before posting the assembly order ,

the warehouse worker needs to be able to first  "Take" the required components from the warehouse  & "Place" them 

on a BIN so that the components can be consumed in assembly. As I understand in standard BC this can be done via inventory movement only

--> Microsoft documentation : Components for assembly orders cannot be picked or posted with inventory picks. Instead, use the Inventory Movement page.

 Description of scenario : 

1) Assembly order > release

2) Assembly order > warehouse > create inventory movement

3) ERROR : "there is nothing to create"

 

I tried different things already , but I always get same error "there is nothing to create"...

Additional info:

All of the available inventory (stock) is on the same Location & same BIN  ("DEFAULT")

For that location , I also have a BIN "ASS001"  where via inventory movement the component items should be placed. 

Location setup : (warehouse fasttab)

I am working with basic BC flow , tested & working. 

- Purchase orders : Warehouse receipt

- Sales orders : inventory pick

    Hi

    Your location is set up with "Require Pick" therefore, you must use warehouse picks to post consumption of assembly orders

    This is the process in my Sandbox:

    Location is set up with "Require picks" and bins mandatory

    I create an assembly order

    I use "Create a Warehouse Pick" and I get the document with the take and place lines
